If this is still a going thing, I'm 65 & have only ever owned one 7mm Rem Mag. for about 2 years or so. It was an old Mauser action 1000 yd gun in a monster of a laminated stock. It weighed at least 15 lbs, likely more so it never got hunted with. Most of the hunting I did was in semi-mountainous deep woods so no reason to reach out much beyond 150 to 200 yards. I wasn't impressed with its performance out to 300 yds. & just couldn't grow to like the monstrosity so it went DTFR. Never bothered with another. Never felt the need for another. Most of my other belted magnums went DTFR as well. Still have a few in 2 calibers other than 7mm, but they're just for fun.
